Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains among acres of
orange groves, only 16 miles from SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK. The plantation
is a peaceful country getaway located in a small citrus community with
a population of 190, yet conveniently located on the two-lane scenic
California Highway 198 with various tourist attractions and over 200
restaurants within a 20 minute drive.
A full gourmet breakfast is created by
Chef Marie using her favorite cookbook (her own Plantation Brunch,
lavishly illustrated by photographer Scott). The freshest ingredients
are used, often grown on the Plantation. Breakfast is served in the
garden courtyard overlooking the pool. The pool is open 24 hours a day
seasonally. The Jacuzzi hot tub is open all the time and is a wonderful
way to enjoy the millions of stars in the country sky. Robes provided.

For over one hundred years, this 4,500 square foot home on twenty acres
of orange groves was known as the Mesa Verde Citrus
Plantation.
In 1996, the Plantation House was transformed into the Plantation Bed
& Breakfast and remains on one and a half acres of the original
twenty. Take a step back in
time when you walk into the original settlers' house, built from river
rock in 1880.

| Stroll
through the lawns and acre Grove Park and you will see not only orange
trees but plum, apricot, cherry, tangerine, avocado, fig, and olive
trees, as well as grapevines, banana plants and an herb garden. Just
for your sensual delight recline in an Adirondack chair under a weeping
willow or palm tree and enjoy the birds and butterflies flitting among
the many blossoming vines, shrubs, flowers and ornamental and shade
trees. |
